This week we were granted access with our drone to get an initial assessment of the damage. While it’s not a detailed assessment, the damage looks extensive and it will be several weeks, most likely months before power is fully restored to all members.
We are hoping to be granted access for our tree crews to clear danger trees very soon, so that our crews can work safely, once we are allowed to start rebuilding the damaged system.
